I have this charger . I'm very happy with its performance and ease of use. I have used it to charge too storage and full voltage. I have also used it to discharge to storage voltage. I have not uesed it as a portable charger yet.

[@KTHKUHNKK]

How you doing ? I have a question, I just bought this charger 3 days. I have for cell batteries for a typhoon H drone. When one battery gets done charging Will it charge it to 16.7 volts ? Also will it beep when it's done charging ? Thanks Keith Kuhn

[@timrobinson9192]

Looks like a very nice charger/discharger. Hope you period testing proves it to be a good one: Thumbs up Ali 👍👍👍

[@MouwDown]

I just got this charger. The only issue I have found is the calibration function. You can do the calibration and save it. Charge a pack with the calibrated numbers, which is good. Turn the charger off and back on and your adjusted numbers will be back to default. Not cool at all.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

holy crap, are you sure this is the case? did you contact the supplier? what did they say. Oh no, i have this on order, crap

[@jeremytheonlyone]

Does this charger/discharger functional for 12v car lead acid battery as well?

[@alishanmao]

maybe not

[@JohnDeere_Simulations]

I had one i loved it Amazon Recalled all of HTRC T240 Duo charger for to catch on fire so all those chargers are recalled so you want to look into a refund ASAP

[@alishanmao]

mine did not catch fire but it made a battery on fire which i saw in time or i could have burned all my life time rc collection. video of battery fire on my channel

[@claudiocosterni6488]

Please mate... at least you, do not say lilo! We (...not Chinese) can not hear or read this misspelling-misstyping. Must be written Li-Ion and on "Ion" (or "Io"), the capital letter is not "L", but "I" (iiiiiiii!). Oookey?

[@tiagomercali]

I have a life span over the output power of each port of this charger. It is 150W, but I would like to know if I can get 150W on one of the ports only. Or, how two ports do I get the 150W? Therefore, each port can deliver 75W which is delivered as 150Ws. Or can you get 150W with one port only? Because you want to plug 4 1500mw batteries into one port only and send one port only 75W doesn't have my right design. Thank you very much.

[@claudiocosterni6488]

And as with almost all these small multi-function devices, the maximum discharge current is ridiculously low. If you need to test large batteries (5000mAh and above), to know their actual capacity, you have to wait too long and, anyway, it is not a test that guarantees a reliable data, the current absorption is too low, very different from the one during a flight on to a multirotor.

[@mattyp80]

No reason why you cannot power it with a large LiPo as the DC input voltage is 11-18V, as long as the pack has enough mAh to support what and at what rate you're charging! As for the charging cables, it is very good that the selection is provided and a good one too BUT I changed all my connectors from 'T' to XT60's because of the 'iffy' nature of the contact with the 'T' style! By having the 'T' in the middle of charging cable there is a possible failure point and is why I use direct connection from the charger to the battery, whatever connector is required! I am intrigued and am looking for a portable DC capable charger so will look forward to any follow up vids you might do on this neat looking charger! cheers Ali, nice work again as always!

Hey buddy great video , I'm actually buying that charger from Amazon , so I trust it now

Hi Ali, any follow up on this charger in the near future? How did it perform so far? Regards from sunny Puerto Rico

Hi ther I have just got this catcher I'm looking to charge a 3000 mah nimh battery. Am I right in guessing I can charge it at 3 amps. Also how do I know when it has fully charged many thanks.

Nice video can you show me how to discharge batteries👍 thanks for sharing👍

[@alishanmao]

use the storage option

Hi sir.. Sorry disturbing you.. I guess this charger already more than 1 years from your review date.. So what your conclusion sir ? The T240 still alive or died ? Hope you can share.. Thanks sir.. ✌️

[@claudiocosterni6488]

Excuse me friend, my last comment I wanted to do already years ago, but I do now. Could you ...pleeeease, reduce the number of times you say "basically" by a 90%, or even less? One or two for each video, could be enough! 😁 You can do it. Thanks.

[@fearlessleader1436]

Discharging takes forever when doing 2 at a time. You are better off doing one at a time

[@alishanmao]

get a dedicated discharger is best

[@Bigpimpinit]

You gave up on flying helis now bro? Its coz of you I got into helis and I never looked back lol.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

I've had this charger for about 3 months. The Ch 2 does not seems to be charging equally as well as CH 1. In the beginning, this was not the case. Both channels seemed to be taking about the same amount of time to charge a LiPo battery. Do you have any ideas what might be causing this??

[@alishanmao]

You can run calibration in settings that should fix it

[@checkeredflagfilms]

@@alishanmao FYI...I found out I inadvertently set the CH2 at 0.02 amp charge rate while CH1 was set at 1.0 amp. Obviously, pilot error! My fault and not that of the charger.

[@ikromimansor971]

Assalamualaikum Ali.. Thanks for the video. I am thinking to buy this balance charger though

[@chriszuccaro5823]

Great demo! You explained it well

[@cwatson42785]

Hey Alishanmao could you explain to me the calibration feature on this charger and how I would calibrate it or if I need to?

[@alishanmao]

haven't used it. you can check manual please

[@53rdcards]

I was wondering about powering the charger by battery when charging batteries, can you charge a small 4s off a large 3s? or does the battery providing the power have to be the same or higher voltage than the one being charged? and can it charge on both charging ports off a battery power, or can you only charge one at a time?

[@alishanmao]

you can. but its just that 3S will run out quicker maybe.

[@KenKneknaneek]

Nice demo as usual. Looks like a pretty neat charger. Looking forward to your next video. Happy Flying

[@begut41]

hey there, i can't charge my battery, it says low cell voltage, is the battery or the charger broken? and do you have any idea how to fix it ? Thank you before

[@racingrivals8934]

It cells that if your cell count isnt right maybe your balance plug is damaged

[@claudiocosterni6488]

On my unit, the storage function does not work. To explain better, it has recorded only 1 set of parameters (in the first one on the top left), after that it does not want to record anymore in the other memory "cells". Crazy!

[@harpoon_bakery162]

did you fix it? did they refund your money. did they charge you shipping to send back? are you satisfied with the MFG response and support? would you recommend this battery balance charger? you see, i have this on order and need to know if i should cancel

[@charliewolf7500]

Greetings, Is there a follow up video for this charger, advising of the long term usability and user experience? Thank you for entertaining and sharing.

[@alishanmao]

well I have been using it here in China and later I brought it to Pakistan and used it there. No issues so far whatsoever. it works flawlessly. I left it in Pakistan at my home so whenever I go during holidays I do not have to carry any Charger. I can just use it to charge batteries.

[@stuart3712]

Love you alishanmao but tho's chargers if they stop working, HTRC will not offer support, least not here in the US. I got 2 from SMC and SMC and i could never get a hold of that company to get a replacement. Our emails and calls all gone un answered for 6 months with no answer and SMC stopped selling their chargers for that reason. I have the HT206 DUO and the single version (white) of what you got here and both stopped working just by discharging a lipo once to a few times. Great display and firmware but thats all it did good, balance charge was not that great and died using discharge mode.

[@alishanmao]

its the common case of all Chinese Companies. They have good products but nothing in terms of sales and support. in fact after sales service or support is not in their dictionary anymore

[@harpoon_bakery162]

@@alishanmao -- oh no. what about Venom chargers? is their service sucky too? i feel like i shouldn't have bought this HTRC charger now...what should i do. i haven't even rec'd it yet. i think it's coming Wed. Oh my. I am so depressed.

is it capable of charging batteries without balance lead, like with goggles battery for example?

[@alishanmao]

Only NiCd or NiMh

@@alishanmao ty

[@harpoon_bakery162]

why did you choose 2.2A on the LIPO display screen (bottom-left), i thought all batteries were safer to be charged at 1.0A only! or am i looking at something wrong??

[@alishanmao]

I set A rates as per battery mAh. a 3300mAh battery I can charge on 3.3A, 5200mAh I can charge at 5A. but this is personal choice. To be safe and to keep batteries life longer, I normally never go above 3.3A

[@harpoon_bakery162]

@@alishanmao ok, so by doing the A-rate like that, that equates to 1A charge rate, right? so for example, if i set the unit for 2.2A rate charge in the charger and I have a 2200mah 3S battery , it is essentially doing 1A charge rate , which is what everyone preaches on the internet forums as far as NEVER charge a battery above 1A rate. Am I thinking correctly here? thanks so much for your response and time taken to answer my questions!!!

[@lifejourney7529]

Hi, anyone can help, cause im not sure the set up. 1) 2 cell battery 3000mah set up will be 4.2v/s and 3.0A ?? 2) 2 cell battery 5200mah, set up will be 4.2v/s and 5.2A? 3) 3 cells battery 5200mah, set up will be 4.2v/s and 5.2A? 4) 4 cells battery 8000mah, set up will be 4.35v/s and 8.0A?

[@alishanmao]

only if your battery is rated to take that many amps to charge, you can do it. but if not, to be safe just charge all batteries at 1A or 2A mostly. also keeps battery safe and longer life

[@lifejourney7529]
